Since there is no error message contained in the module about key priority or throttling, it seems logical that a connection error message might appear instead. | |

My reliable hosting provider was very diligent in assisting me troubleshoot this and was unable to find anything wrong. I'm using the free API key and this problem only happened on a day my key was getting slammed with spam; I just figured that free keys get a lower priority. Since installing a reCaptcha module, thereby reducing the number of API calls to Akismet, the error message has not returned. | |
